Contemporary artist Cj Hendry is presenting her latest exhibition, 'Flower Market,' in collaboration with global luxury beauty brand Clé de Peau Beauté and the Four Freedoms Park Conservancy in New York City. This grand-scale installation features "a 120-foot by 40-foot greenhouse on the lawn of FDR Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island, showcasing 100,000 meticulously crafted plush flowers inspired by the natural radiance and botanicals in Clé de Peau Beauté products."
The Flower Market will include individual plush flowers that visitors can purchase and arrange into unique and creative bouquets. Additionally, the exhibition will offer 100% silk scarves made in France and merchandise such as hats and t-shirts, all designed to evoke the essence of florals. The exhibit will also include plush flower drawings that capture the textures and vibrancy of Hendry's art.
